Abstract

A surface-mount technology (SMT) device connector (100) for connecting a removable component (150) to a substrate (160). The SMT device connector (100) includes an insulated housing (135) for receiving the removable component (150) and the insulated housing (135) is surface mounted to a SMT device connector location on the substrate (160). The SMT device connector also includes two stress relief posts (110) protruding from a mounting surface (137) of the insulated housing (135). The two stress relief posts (110) correspond to two stress relief post apertures (111) in the substrate (160) and the two stress relief posts (110) are not required to be constrained along a longitudinal axis (140) of the insulated housing (137) in the corresponding stress relief post apertures (111) to relieve stress on the SMT device connector (100) during SMT reflow.
